Lady kind or regular? The lady kind is coconut mango, which doesn't screen Froot Loops to me, but I can see how you'd get there.

Regular, though I'm not sure why it's gendered :confused:

Yeah, that sort of bothered me when I reordered. The first tube I bought didn't say lady on it, it just said the scent, which I assumed was fruitier than the regular. At least they're the same price and the lady version isn't more expensive! That's often the case.

Vaporizers are also nice because you don't have clouds of pot smoke to contend with. I can puff on my vaporizer all day in the house and you wouldn't know unless I told you I had been doing it.

Plus you can save all of the spent material and cook it in butter/oil and make edibles.

Upon checking the Cremo website the only difference between lady and non-lady is the smell. Which fair enough I guess.

I had one of the first models. Very cool, but the internal tube that connects the "oven" to the mouthpiece will get gummed up with resin after a few months of you don't religiously clean it out with a stiff pipe cleaner. If it gets gummed up, it can gently caress up the on/off mechanism because you can't properly click the mouthpiece in/out. The piece itself is loving awesome though and well worth the money. Also, I highly recommend getting a volcano for your home if you use a lot; the best smoking/vaping experience I've ever had.

Tl,dr: clean it out regularly.

Mostly want to shill for Sanuk. The pair on the left is roughly five years old (maybe older??) and I finally replaced them with the pair on the right, which I fully expect to last another 5 years or more. People freak out when I tell them I spent $60 on sandals, but I wear them 90% of the time I'm not at work, and they are comfy as hell.

They look more like boat shoes to me. Sandals to me are generally an open toed thing.

Probably just a regional thing. Take my region with a grain of salt though because I live on a relatively large lake that is 5 hours from the nearest ocean and every body thinks it's cool to put SlutSalt Life stickers on their vehicles.

Oh yeah, they're definitely boat shoes. The giveaway is the white soles.

I was waiting for this. Houses in the Bay Area generally don't have basements and she has not sold yet. But don't worry Bill I'm a part owner on her house too and I'll get my cut of it when she does.

My previous house skyrocketed (I bought it very close to what would become the main Facebook campuses on chance a decade ago) and I decided to cash out because a ton of new housing is being made in my city and services are already over taxed. I don't have a job in the tech sector so why stay? Housing anywhere outside Bay Area, California just feels .... Normal.

Is 4k Netflix really that good? I don't see how it could have a high enough bandwidth to even match Blu-Ray discs, let alone 4x the quality. Sure, 4k discs will be a thing, but I don't see anyone steaming quality that's even equal to Blu-Rays unless they have gigabit fiber at a minimum

I believe Netflix 4k doesn't match up to the new, "Ultra HD" 4k standard. But for my purposes it should be alright. The tv also supposedly comes with $120 in credit for Sony's own 4k ultra download service, so if Netflix is underwhelming I will go that route.

It's pretty good, I just got a Samsung 65" 8500 model and from where I sit, I can very easily tell when something is 4k and when it's 1080. Amazon does the whole HDR thing, so their shows look much better than most of what's on Netflix but Daredevil and their other original 4k content looks good. It's not that 1080 stuff looks bad, but the 4k stuff is noticeably sharper. Someone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but a huge chunk of BD data bandwidth is eaten up by the audio tracks. I don't know about all the codecs and everything that's out there but streaming is where you're going to get the vast majority of 4k content for a while and I'm sure netflix records and produces shows to work best within their compression method. Even youtube can look stunning- there are a bunch of demos and things recorded on 4k/8k Red cameras that are pretty jaw-dropping.

How far are you from your screen? I read that you have to be in a certain range to notice the [1080/4k] difference. You guys that stream 4k, what's your bandwidth/connection?

25mbps is about where I'm at with ATT, I don't think my poo poo can handle it.

edit: poo poo, I was just checking and I only get 12mbps down.
